At any time of year, the intersection at Montgomery and Myers is the unofficial starting point for Downtown Oroville adventures, with coffee, dining, and shopping just a crosswalk away from the primary parking lot.

The following day, you can step back in time and discover Oroville’s rich (and sometimes racy) history on the first Saturday of every month during the Downtown Oroville Historic Walking Tour. The free tour has multiple tour times on that Saturday, and the topic changes monthly to cover different aspects of the city, making it a great way to discover more about Oroville.
